Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, 1872 by Thomas Moran, Yellowstone National Park Museum.

Moran was another artist working in the same vein as Bierstadt. His paintings of the American West were even more idealized. His work was presented to Congress as evidence that Yellowstone needed to be protected as a National Park which caused them to establish the National Park Service in 1916.
